London - Rolling Stone Keith Richards, who is recovering from brain surgery in New Zealand after falling from a coconut tree, is on the mend and preparing to tour again, the wife of bandmate Ronnie Wood said Monday.
Jo Wood told London's Evening Standard newspaper that the 62-year-old guitarist was recovering well.
'Yes, he had an accident but Keith's as strong as an ox, really he is. He'll bounce back. Keith always does,' she said.
'He's fine and the tour will continue - it just might have to restart a bit behind schedule, that's all,' she added.
Richards had the accident while on holiday in Fiji during a break in the Stones world tour. He is recuperating in New Zealand with wife Patti Hansen.
An announcement of the rescheduled tour dates is expected soon.
